Filipino Champ, Wolfkrone Clash in After Hours Street Fighter V Exhibition at Final Round 19
Aside from the tournaments themselves, one of the more enjoyable aspects of major events like Final Round 19 are the impromptu exhibitions and challenges that happen away from the main stage. One such exhibition saw Panda Global’s Ryan “Filipino Champ” Ramirez face Joshua “Wolfkrone” Philpot in a first-to-ten Street Fighter V exhibition.
While, on the surface, their characters seem to be polar opposites–Filipino Champ mains Dhalsim, while Wolfkrone uses rushdown grappler Laura–both actually share some similarities in the way they can rely on a momentum-heavy mixup game to score wins. Combine that with the strong personalities of both players, and you have the ingredients for a hype exhibition.
Please take note that the video features some NSFW language.
